About the Arlington Development Process

Development in Rosslyn is guided by the adopted vision and principles of the Realize Rosslyn Sector Plan. Along with zoning regulations, the Sector Plan is the over-arching document that serves as the basis for all development in Rosslyn. For more information on zoning and to locate guidance documents, visit the Planning page.

The Rosslyn BID maintains strategic involvement in the Arlington County Development Process through its Urban Design Committee.

By-Right Development

Projects that follow zoning regulations typically do not require Arlington County Board approval and are developed “by-right."

The Site Plan Development

Process Most projects reviewed by the Urban Design Committee (link to 4.2) deviate from what is permitted by the zoning regulations. These proposals must proceed through the “Site Plan” or 4.1 process and are required to undergo the County’s formal “Site Plan Review” and approval by the Arlington County Board.
